So, for a standard 3-credit course they made just $1,800. No one who wasn't local could afford to work for that. And the rate had not been raised in more than 20 years! The business office and academic affairs got upset when I wanted to pay them more per credit, or for mileage. I could do so only if I took it out of my small operating budget. The rate was still unchanged when I retired 6 years later.
